Thread: The Happening

Oh fuck. When did that happen?

I hate the shit out of Avatar, and this guy doing a really crappy movie about it would've been funny.

EDIT: Dude according to wiki this guy is still set to hilariously rape Avatar, are you sure?

EDIT2: Hooray! You were talking about something else!

I wish Uwe Boll had challenged him to a fight instead of Michael Bay though.

But the new Rambo actually was funny. I mean shit, what the hell is funnier than what a .50 caliber rifle can do to the human body. I laughed until I cried.

Dude, when that shotgun was pointed at the two little kids, Mark Walbergs face was priceless... I couldn't help but lauch, and the old lady bashing her head into the wall and the windows was pretty funny as well.>

But yeah, Rambo is still the funniest movie I've seen these past two years outside of Superbad, Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

They're referring to Avatar: The Last Airbender a cartoon on Nickelodeon that is being turned into a live action trilogy (I believe) by M. Night Shama-lama-ding-dong.

Aside from that~

I think M. Night has finally given up on trying to put in a twist ending in all of his movies, which is a good thing because I was starting to think that he was becoming a one-trick pony. This movie was absolutely horrid. I cannot believe I spent $20.50 on this movie (I paid for a friends ticket because I owed her). I walked out absolutely flabbergasted at how atrocious this movie was. For a movie titled The Happening, nothing much HAPPENED in the movie (I apologize if this joke was used elsewhere, at 3 a.m. I felt like it was witty and quite unique of me to say).

The acting wasn't that great either. Aside from John Leguizamo, I did not like the acting.

The movie wasn't scary either, nor was it suspenseful. And the movie just hits you over the head with the message that it's trying to convey. The movie fails to show not tell, and ultimately degrades the movie into being just a campy "horror" film.

And I too am fearful that he might butcher Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I'm not really sure what even happened in the movie, I kept falling asleep. Xd
Before I sleep = running, I wake up = standing still, then more running. :G
I'm glad the kids got shot, they were annoying.


Damn, what a horrible waste of time, I could had even used the 20 min it took to download better in something more useful. :G

is written in Wikipedia that he's goign to do Avatar.

and Wikipedia don't lie

It looked pretty messed up to me, her pupils were way too small unless someone was shining a flashlight in her face the whole time.

This movie could have been great but Mark Whalberg did a really terrible acting job. it felt like he was trying too hard. As for Zoey, she looks mad good, but her acting in this wasnt that great.

As for M night, i think, he is too smart for regular folks like us and his movies reflects that fact. Too much thinking. So only intelligent people can understand this movie, they had to explain it to me.

No, for once you're actually underestimating yourself (sort of). The movie was crap.

It's sad that the only worthwhile part was at the zoo, all the other scenes were shown in the commercial. I don't mind vague ending but this was more along the lines of a "wtf just happened?!" kind of ending.
